kites

When some neighbors moved out they left a bunch of stuff and we managed to snag a couple of really neato kites, one of which is an airplane with wheels and everything.  Unfortunately, it has either been not windy at all or it has been blowing a gale....either way, Sam, (shes 4) is very upset because she wants to fly her kite!!!!

If you've got a powerful enough electric fan you could always try what I did as a little kid (okay, fine, up until three years ago when I was fourteen and Dad finally got fed up)... set the fan midway down a staircase, aiming vaguely up (Not straight, as that'll just buffet it around like crazy), and sit at the top with the kite "flying" over the fan. But if the airplane's as big as the others of that type that I've seen, I'm not certain it would fit in a staircase... so experiment.

Then again, I'm really easily amused.
